Hyperlink on form giving error.

[RycherX]

I added a hyperlink object to my form. I referenced the link in the "edit hyperlink" screen to http://www.google.com
When I try to click on it, I get the error "Unable to open http://www.google.com. No program is registered to open this file."

Am I required to reference hyperlinks in a table? Is this a memory problem on my machine?

I was wondering how would access know to use Internet Explorer as the browser?

Store the link as text in the table. Then use the application.followhyperlink function to open web browser to the url.

Edit: Use this method to open the url on the click of your button...

application.followhyperlink "http://www.google.com"
